Unsupported or outdated plugins on the list of plugins

[daganzdaanda]

https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Plugins
The list contains a lot of plugins, and not all of them are still maintained. Two that I have noticed:

• Kendzi3D is not running on current Java,
• intersection seems to crash JOSM at start and is not updated any more

Some others have not been updated in a very long time but seem to be working still.

The "turnlanes" plugin is a bit different, it does what it says, but it is mapping an obsolete proposal: ​https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:Turn_lanes_(relation)

Should plugins that don't work anymore be removed from the list?
What about unmaintained but possibly still working plugins? Maybe there could be a warning note for those?
And maybe a hint for "experimental tagging" like with "turnlanes"?

If a plugin is not working issue a bug report for that plugin. If the report isn't handled for some time move it to unmainted section disabling it with a reference to the ticket.

For working unmaintained plugins. Well' what's the issue with them?

For the turnlanes plugin I suggest you provide a patch or submit a request to adapt the description.

See PluginsSource page.

For the "intersection" plugin see ​https://github.com/kaart-labs/lane-connectivity_plugin/issues/6#issuecomment-833794884 where Taylor Smock says on May 6, 2021

Sorry that its taken awhile to respond to this, but since we (Kaart) aren't actively using this plugin, and none of our clients are interested in it, I probably won't be able to fix this. Unless I have some spare time. I'll leave it open, so I hopefully don't forget, but please keep that in mind.

The code hasn't been worked on since 2019, and in 2025 it was reported with ​https://github.com/kaart-labs/lane-connectivity_plugin/issues/8 that

On version 19439 of JOSM, the software crashes at startup with this plugin enabled.

So may I try and move the link to the unmaintained section?

For Kendzi3D, there's been https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/21348 since 2021. It still works only with Java v8, and not with anything newer. There is a pull request to update it, but it has been open since 2022, last comment from maintainer was 2023: ​https://github.com/kendzi/kendzi3d/pull/103

For now, I think this also classifies as "unmaintained" and should not be suggested in the plugin list.

Hm, where can I do this? It seems it is not listed in PluginsSource?

For the first two, as they are unmainted, move them. Do not forget the " " character at the beginning to deactivate them.

For turnlanes: It's in SVN. Provide a patch here in the ticket. See osm/applications/editors/josm/plugins/turnlanes.

Please check if this is OK

OK, I found the text is in https://josm.openstreetmap.de/browser/osm/applications/editors/josm/plugins/turnlanes/pom.xml
so I edited the xml and have attached it here. Not sure if this is how it's done.
